Description:

Famine moves a Greenlandic family into a new settlement in the 1850's where the joys and tragedies of pre-Christian times are depicted

Synopsis:

Tuumarsi is a realistic depiction of the struggle for survival. A famine causes a family to pick up and relocate to fairer hunting grounds. The psyche and humor of the people is reflected through Nielsen's own experiences with them. The struggle among the settlement members to make their lives better illustrates what was to become Greenland's desire for sovereignty from Denmark.
